Why does this happen and what does Fix File
Association
.EXE do?
There are a variety of reasons why you may have lost the ability to
open applications (having a .EXE file type). Sometimes a virus
or malware may have
infected your computer and damaged your .EXE file association. Even
a legitimate but badly written program can cause this
problem.
Once the .EXE file association has been corrupted you may notice
that the “Open” option isn’t listed on the
context menu anymore when you right click a file:

It can be extremely difficult to tweak the registry settings to fix
this problem on your own, even for an advanced PC user.
Software Candy’s
Fix File Association .EXE makes it
simple to repair your broken .EXE file association. Just install
this safe and secure download and you will again be able to quickly
open the files you need with a double click -- or from the Run box:

Note: The nature of
this particular problem is such that you cannot run
any EXE
file -- even an EXE file that is supposed to fix this problem.. Thus,
this wizard is the only one in our system that has a COM
extension. By doing so, we provide you with the same convenience of all
our other wizards: You can run it by simply double-clicking it.
New! With the introduction of Version 2.0,
Fix File Association .EXE no longer relies on
REGEDIT (this feature was added thanks to a suggestion of one
of our customers).
New! With the introduction of Version 2.1,
Fix File Association .EXE
fixes misdirected associations on Windows Vista and Windows 7 as well,
i.e. if opening an .exe file always invokes Mail, Internet Explorer,
Windows Media Player or other program mistakenly associated with the
.EXE file type. Also, it is now positively tested with the 64-bit
version of Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
New! With the introduction of Version 2.2,
Fix File Association .EXE
automatically detects whether your system is Windows XP or higher and
adapts the fixes according to your system.
As with all Software Candy products,
Fix File Association
.EXE is completely free of any viruses or spyware (digitally
signed for authenticity and integrity) and is well tested for its
advertised features. If ever needed, you can also uninstall it
completely with a single click, performing a total cleanup after
itself.
